I got off to a rough start with Phoebe as she was allergic to the caller. However they made write up for it and held up to their promise of a guarantee. Ernie is absolutely an amazing trainer. Phoebe is a Belgian malinois very hard dog to train and very headstrong Ernie pushed right through it and was able to show me how. I would highly recommend trying out off-leash K9

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
How much is for it
Around $750 for basic and they give you the e-collar.. you will then be able to have dog come to you and you can stop it from attacking others.

I have 2 puppies, can i bring them in at the same time for the puppy training, and it would cost $200? And when they get older i want to do the board and train, how much would the Board and train for 2weeks cost for both dogs?

How much does it cost
It depends on what services you select. The board and train for 14 days costs the most (I think around $2500), but is absolutely worth it and is the only reason I can handle my 92 pound German Shepherd puppy.

I would say Absolutely. Rhis is amazing obieiance program and we had Abby as our Dogs Fiona a trainer. An 8 month old Cane Corso. We did the first 4 basic and then the 2 week board and train. We can not express just how well this program works and what a difference it has made with Fiona.

I can’t say enough good things about Estivin! When I brought Maddie to him, she was very unruly - she used to pull on the leash, bark at strangers and go crazy when she saw another dog.

I can’t say enough good things about Estivin! When I brought Maddie to him, she was very unruly - she used to pull on the leash, bark at strangers and go crazy when she saw another dog. She ignored commands and had a mind of her own. Estivin was sweet, professional and very knowledgeable. His methods are extremely effective and Maddie is a new dog. She has good manners now, obeys commands and behaves on our walks. I could tell that Maddie really liked Estivin and he was so good with her. I’m so impressed with her transformation. Estivin also trained ME so I have the tools and confidence to reinforce her training at home. If you are struggling with your dogs bad habits or want to improve their behavior, I highly recommend Estivin at Off Leash K9 Training.
Profesional!! Planned a vacation while our Apollo boarded. Very well kept. Communication was outstanding! Thanks again.

Trainer Ernie is Tampa's Dog Whisperer! The transformation in our 4 year-old Lagotto after his two week board-and-train with Ernie was remarkable. Our sweet family dog was struggling with anxiety-based reactivity, and Ernie immediately identified this as a confidence issue. He focused on getting our dog to relax, be curious, and develop impulse control skills. After two weeks with Ernie, he's now calm and carefree at home and while out and about! Ernie provided updates multiple times each day and was immediately responsive any time I reached out with questions. Well worth the investment--I only wish we had done it sooner!

Ernie was amazing for two weeks with our “special” rescue pup Charlotte. Charlotte came to us scared of everything, unable to walk on a leash at all, sprinting off at every chance she got, and unmotivated to learn commands in any capacity. We were so nervous dropping her off, with honestly little hope for progress just due to her trauma. We just hoped she didn’t have too much anxiety or find a way to escape. Well Ernie worked miracles- by the end of two weeks, Charlotte walked happily next to us on a leash, knows “sit” very well, is tolerant of social situations and less afraid of loud noises and surprises. It’s truly a miracle. Ernie found a way to make her work for a welcome reward and overcome her obstacles. Additionally, he gave her love and cared for her deeply while she was away. If he can do this for Charlotte, nothing is impossible!
